I never though of making my own granola. I wince everytime I buy a box because it is so expensive, but then I saw a fellow blogger mention making her own granola, easily, so I thought I’d give it a whirl.
We bought the bulk ingredients weeks ago and today I finally took the plunge.
I read many recipes, and then decided to settle on the recipe I found on our local honey producer’s website, and I made a few tweaks.
I didn’t use the coconut, or sesame seeds, and I added crushed pecan and walnut bits.
I used my homemade apple sauce I canned a couple years ago.
Here it is out of the oven:
And closer up:
As soon as it cools and dries, I’ll add raisins and dried cranberries.
Update!
I mixed in golden raisins and dried cranberries. I froze 3 ziplock bags, but kept some out for breakfast. AND FOR RIGHT NOW!
Best granola I ever had!! Glad I didn’t put coconut in it. Dried cranberries are really good in it.
Easy breakfast!

Honey is basically sugar. Anywhere you can use honey, you can use sugar. Unfortunately, it messes up recipes because it isn’t solid (you need to allow for the water in the honey):

Since I started to keep bees, The Wife has been using it everywhere. She even uses it in the bread she bakes.
